I think the show portrayed quite clearly that Luke and Noah weren&#39;t right for each other, and Reid&#39;s death doesn&#39;t change that. The penultimate episode left the door open for Nuke fans to wank their own happy ending. That&#39;s what we all have FANfiction for. The Nuke fans would feel exactly the same way if roles were reversed; for them to get preferential treatment now is just unfair. <br /><br />As a long-time fan of Luke Snyder, I hate more than I can say that the show left him alone and grieving. But the idea of him ending up back together with Noah, who Luke realized is not the right man for him, is something I hate even more. Please just respect ALL the fans&#39; feelings and let it be.Maxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05532244336814301843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34343694.post-3218293132264436972010-09-19T14:50:11.204-07:002010-09-19T14:50:11.204-07:00I&#39;m sorry that Nuke fans were cheated out of a...I&#39;m sorry that Nuke fans were cheated out of a reunion. But Luke and Reid fans were cheated out of a happy ending as well. Reid fans were cheated out of seeing him alive at the end of the show. We are still mourning him. Even though he&#39;s not real, it still was a punch to the gut. Luke and Reid were very happy before Reid died and Luke told Noah they weren&#39;t right for each other. No Nuke reunion will make sense. I would hope if you are going to have a writer from ATWT write a happy ending for Luke and Noah, then it would be nice for Luke and Reid fans to have the same benefit. You know, rather than playing favorites.Evahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02084519149442103242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34343694.post-2143875449042899502010-09-19T09:43:12.530-07:002010-09-19T09:43:12.530-07:00I&#39;m sorry, but it is in poor taste to have an ...I&#39;m sorry, but it is in poor taste to have an epilogue for Luke and Noah. Especially after the show ran Reid Oliver over with a train. This sad, pointless death of this fan favorite is still fresh in our minds. Many of us feel as if it was nothing but a cheap ploy for shock value. I know Luke and Noah have fans, but many of us do not buy them getting back together, especially because it only happens as a result of Reid&#39;s death. <br /><br />If you are going to do this, it&#39;s only fair that you have an epilogue where Reid is alive and he gets his happy ending as well(preferably with Luke). That way, fans can decide for themselves what they want.Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00848599013353053251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34343694.post-6853238021447249872010-09-18T12:21:17.063-07:002010-09-18T12:21:17.063-07:00I personally would like to see some kind of epilog...I personally would like to see some kind of epilogue involving the characters of Luke and Noah.

You have already unjustifiably killed the character of Reid. I agree with some others that it&#39;s a slap in the face. Am I unreasonable and irrational for thinking this?

I guess. Is this why they killed Reid? His death was totally unnecessary and unacceptable. Why anyone thought Reid&#39;s death was a good idea is beyond me. <br /><br />This whole idea of a reunion like this is rather undignified and unfair to all three characters. Luke and Reid would still be together if Reid was alive, so this makes Noah just a big consolation prize. <br /><br />Luke came to the realization that Noah wasn&#39;t right for him and he was correct. Noah and Luke were never good for each other. Luke found unconditional love with Reid. Reid finally found love after closing himself off. That is what good drama and PAYOFF is all about. Not killing a good man, letting the true villains all live, and only letting one character be stuck settling with his first love. How depressing! <br /><br />I ask...Where is the dignity and respect for these characters? It&#39;s certainly not in an epilogue for a Luke and Noah reunion only after and because Reid is dead. <br /><br />I personally am glad that you kept Luke and Noah as friends. I would have preferred to see Luke and Reid together and happy at the end. I am very disappointed at the decision to kill Reid to begin with.kathattiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18116963051527837658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34343694.post-21834945955370101912010-09-17T21:12:41.463-07:002010-09-17T21:12:41.463-07:00As a gay man and long time viewer of ATWT, I&#39;m...As a gay man and long time viewer of ATWT, I&#39;m glad that Luke and Noah weren&#39;t rushed back together.

If the situations were reversed Luke/Noah fans would behave the exact same way.<br /><br />That said, I personally don&#39;t have a problem with it and I&#39;m not a fan of the couple. If she wants to write some fan fic with the fans, more power to her, it&#39;s not like it changes the ending. Frankly though, the show is over, both sides need to let it go and move on.

I have already deprogrammed the CBS station from our house&#39;s TVs and have tallied the few P&amp;G manufactured products we currently use but will never again purchase. The ending of ATWT&#39;s story of gay men Luke and Reid was unnessessary and homophobic. No happiness for them if they were not child-bearing and heterosexual.Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10239725690943676453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34343694.post-27736559046372012682010-09-17T15:00:07.198-07:002010-09-17T15:00:07.198-07:00It is an insult to LuRe fans if Susan Dansby is wr...It is an insult to LuRe fans if Susan Dansby is writing a Nuke epilogue.
